Hello, I found something interesting! m.youtube.com/watch?v=bXh6sAlhdAUOf course, these bears look like Teddy Ruxpin! And sound like him too... I wonder if there is any information about the animatronic bears used for this? Also, please forgive me, if this is the wrong board! |

Someone in the comments made a theory that maybe WoW reskinned since Duracell might not have been willing to pay for his likeness. Doesn't reallu sound like something they'd do, though.

Maybe.. But I think the eyes are also different! But, they could have replaced that too..
Well, I think they are cute!
I always wonder, what happens to animatronics from commercials...

I'd figure they'd get auctioned off. Or maybe the company employees get a chance to buy them.

This is very interesting. The singer in the tape it's playing sounds similar to Teddy's voice to me. I'm wondering though if they made the bots themselves or if they are just reskinned Teddys.

It definitely sounds like Teddy's voice, probably one of the best imitations of Phil Baron I have seen. I'm not sure, I have watched it over and over again... But something seems a little off, like it is probably a custom animatronic and not a custom Teddy. Perhaps something about the body shape and the way their mouths move.. There is something very "knockoff" about their animation in general. But I'm not sure. That could be a result of using custom animation coding as WoW animation is notoriously hard to get right. But that reminds me, WoW was rather protective of their animation coding.. They sued two 3rd party companies for using it. So that adds to the mystery.. One could however, gut the Teddy and replace the mechanism with generic RC servos. I have seen that done before, though it is rarely as smooth as the animation in the video. The eyes don't look like real Teddy eyes, but that could be custom as well. |
